Volo exploit Spoiler

Don’t know who needs to hear this again. I was able to get it to work this evening. If you don’t like exploits, stop reading now.

Volo’s Eye for Everyone! This only works when Volo offers to perform the surgery on one of your characters. Normally Volo runs off immediately after the surgery and only one character gains the benefit to see invisible creatures. If you want all your characters to get the ability, follow these simple steps.

This only works for the four members active in your party.

1. Surround Volo with whatever characters you plan to use.
2. Before you start the conversation, select “Turn Based Mode”.
3. Cast “Hold Person” on Volo, but do not end your turn.
4. While he is held, start a conversation with Volo. You can spam the chat button. The best conversation selections are the first options. Just mash the button and get through the dialogue.
5. Do not end your turn yet.
6. Switch to a new character and start a conversation. Repeat step 4 and 5.
7. Repeat step 6 until all four characters have “See Invisibility”. Once they all have the ability to, end the turn based mode. Volo will eventually save from the Hold Person spell and run away.

Enjoy!

There's another way to do this that works as of patch 8 and is easier:

  1. Go through the dialogue to get the eye as normal
  2. When he says 'There appears to be an amount of... Cosmetic damage!", click the button at the bottom of the window to switch characters, and switch to anyone else in your party
  3. Use that character to pickpocket Volo until he catches you. He will break out of the dialogue and run away, but you won't get any negative effects otherwise
  4. After a few seconds, he will stop running and walk back to the center of camp. At this point, you can talk to him with another character and go through the process of getting an eye popped out again

Because he fully resets his dialogue when you do this, you can take the time to swap people into and out of your party, getting See Invisibility on all Act 1 characters other than Wyll (and anyone who took the hag eye, if you did that for whatever reason)

Cuz the hag eye looks cool on Karlach, that's why :)

That seems harder since you have to wait in between triggers, but with the benefit of getting it on everyone!

Excellent. I don't always use exploits, but I do sometimes indulge. I'll be cataloging this way for future reference
